More shoes to come.  This is the note I sent to (Sir) Lou Gerstner.

Dear Mr. Gerstner,

Well, AOL is suing Microsoft on Antitrust grounds.

Experts think they will win.  Judge Bork called it "low-hanging fruit."

Soon IBM stockholders will be demanding that IBM also sue MS for their
activities concerning OS/2.

IBM owes it to its stockholders to recover damages done to OS/2.

Unless, of course, you entered into an [illegal] market-splitting deal with
Microsoft.

You didn't do that, did you?

We'll see.
